Accountability... what did u eat Thursday

You'll most likely see a pattern here in the next few days.  One that I've been trying to break for years. Keep an eye on breakfast..... Pre-Breakfast - 1c pineapple B - McDonalds: sausage mcmuffin (w 1/2 muffin), hash brown, 1/2 apple, small diet coke L - 1/2 tuna melt, 10 french fries, 5 pickle chips, 12oz diet coke, 1/4**** cream S - 1 snack size serving pop secret homestyle D - 1c pineapple, 2 deviled eggs, skinny cow ice cream sandwich S - 12 jelly bellies totals: calories-1866, carbs-238, fat-84, protein-54 I always have trouble drinking enough and it's usually soda or tea.  Had about 10oz of water last night.

i had the same problem, i see that some of your choices are good and some... well. i learned if you wake up a few minutes early and scramble an egg you can skip past the mcdonalds. instead of the soda (which i think does strech our pouch and make you crave more soda) have a proetin drink. you will be fuller than if you eat that mcdonalds breakfast and especially that hashbrown. you will also cut your calories and carb intake.

watch your snack choices, looks like you are picking the wrong snacks too.

i'm not trying at all to beat you up, i swear. your trying and that's all that matters..... =) smile gina

Sounds to me like you are not eating enought "real food". I find that I snack way too much when I don't eat enought substantial food. I loved Gina's suggestions and think that would work better for you. Hope you can start doing better soon. At least you are posting and that is a BIG start!! Hugs,   Piggybabe

I'm glad to decided to come over a join the board. we are a great group and our goal is to control our own ships and steer them in the right directions. the other ladies are right. your choices are so great and that is where you big problems are coming from. Your protein is really low, carbs, fat, and calories are way to high. Drink or eat a protein bar/drink in the moring if you dont have time to cook take a piece of fruit with you on the way to work so you dont stop at mcdonalds.. right there u are saving a ton of calories and getting in some good protein.

Try and stay way from fried foods.. and soda.. its a nono.. it does just make you thristier and hungery and I believe it streches out you pouch.

Do you cook or was this just an average day. there are tons of things you can get that dont require cooking if you need to.. you can take them for lunch and dinner.

You are seeing a problem and want to get it together.. I am in no way flaming you. we are all here to support and help each other out. Please continue to work at it and evenutally you will gain control of that ship again and it will be smooth sailing to a better you.

May I say one thing?  Going to McDonald's usually isn't about the food.  It's about 1) getting out of the house so I can force myself to go to work on time!  2) having a nice place to sit and read the paper My gf loves to go there too so we kind of sabotage each other.

honestly, maybe you and your gf should find somewhere else to wake up. you can read the paper at denny's or at starbucks, ect... mcdonald's is just to tempting and their breakfast food is the worst for calories fat and carbs. stay home, get together and make a breakfast if you get up that early and then that way you ate healthy read your paper and are still off to work. now you just saved time for driving... gina

i totally agree.. i almost fell over when i looked at their food stats. I use to take my kids there on grandmas day for breakfast but and I would have a sausage patty with the egg out of a muffin.. OMG.. when I figure it out.. it stopped really fast.. now I cook them breakfast and know they are eating much more healthy. there are a ton of places you can go that dont have food that you can read a paper.. make a protein drink or a protein bar. sit at a nice table somewhere and visit... than you can visit about how well you are doing.. or just get a cup of coffee... if its not about eating than dont do it..

How about ordering a milk (low fat) and adding you protein to it.. why not.. find ways to make it work for you.

you can do it... you run you own ship here.. and we will be your crew to help you get it back on track.
